Constantly touted as one of the world's most liveable cities, Vancouver doesn't even make it into the top 10 best Canadian cities to live, according to a list released by MoneySense magazine this morning.
The list examines such factors as:
- employment;
- housing prices;
- crime;
- weather; and
- household income.
The only B.C. locale to make the top 10 best Canadian cities to live in is Saanich, B.C.
Calgary tops the list for the first time, nudging out three-time winner Ottawa.
According to MoneySense magazine, the 10 best places to live in Canada are:
1. Calgary;
2. St. Albert, Alberta;
3. Burlington, Ontario;
4. Strathcona County, Alberta;
5. Oakville, Ontario;
6. Ottawa;
7. Saanich, B.C.;
8. Lacombe, Alberta;
9. Lethbridge, Alberta; and
10. Newmarket, Ontario.
When factoring in population size, Vancouver squeaks in at 10th place for the top 10 large cities.
